131. In the following chemical equation, what is the reactant?
CuSO4·5H2O(s) → CuO(s) + SO3(g) + 5H2O(l)
132. Which is a correct balanced chemical equation corresponding to the following description of
a chemical reaction?
Hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium metal to produce aqueous magnesium chloride
and hydrogen gas.
2HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl2(aq) + 2H(g)
2HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
2HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl(aq) + H2(g)
2HCl(aq) + Mg(aq) → MgCl2(s) + H2(g)
HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl(aq) + H(g)
133. Sulfuric acid reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and
liquid water. Which is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reaction description?
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2S(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2O2(g)
H2S(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2S(aq) + 2H2O(l)
H2SO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaSO4(aq) + H2O(g)
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
H2SO4(aq) + (NaOH)2(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
134. How many of the following statements are true concerning chemical equations?
I. Coefficients can be fractions.
II. Subscripts can be fractions.
